Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258: He’s Like a Fool Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258: He’s Like a Fool He was not covered in blood, nor had he broken a leg.

He rolled up his sleeve to reveal his arm, on his left forearm, there was a wound daubed with red medicine…

Mi Sha explained, “After you passed out, I disguised myself as a nurse to see him. I intended to check if his injuries were serious; if they weren’t, I would tell you, and if they were, I wouldn’t mention it. But you see… he’s absolutely fine…”

“Is this what you took covertly today?” Jian Yufei asked, unsure.

“Yes, it’s the picture I just took. If you don’t believe it, just wait and see. By tomorrow, there will be news saying he’s unharmed.”

“Why would he do such a thing?” Jian Yufei was even more puzzled.

Mi Sha shrugged. “Who knows!”

Knowing Ruan Tianling was fine, Jian Yufei felt much more at ease.

She didn’t go out but instead walked back and sat down on the couch.

Mi Sha turned off the TV and glanced at her, “Maybe he’s trying to lure you over. Perhaps he knows about your plans to move abroad.”

Jian Yufei shook her head. “That’s not possible…”

“Not possible? Why?”

“He wouldn’t do such a pointless thing just to lure me to see him.”

“Are you so sure?”

Jian Yufei nodded and spoke softly with her eyes downcast. “Of course. He said he never wants to see me again. He truly let me go… There’s no longer any possibility for us…”

Mi Sha didn’t care about their emotional issues. “Can you leave with me tomorrow then?”

“…Let’s go.” Jian Yufei stood up and went to the bedroom with a sense of desolation.

After all, she was bound to leave sooner or later, even if she couldn’t bear it. Perhaps once she was gone, she wouldn’t feel so reluctant, so eager to see him again.

…

The night was growing deeper.

Ruan Tianling leaned against the sofa, a laptop resting on his knees.

He’d been sitting in the same position for quite a while, the screen displaying financial data for the quarter.

Although he stared at the figures, he couldn’t make out a single word.

Suddenly, his phone rang, and he quickly grabbed it.

The name flashing on the screen was not Jian Yufei’s, and his gaze darkened instantly.

“Hello, Mom.”

“Tianling, it’s already eight o’clock. Why aren’t you home yet? If you don’t come back soon, I’m going to the hospital to look for you,” his mother’s voice came from the other end.

Ruan Tianling glanced at his watch, realizing it was already eight in the evening…

He had stayed here since six in the morning; 14 hours had passed.

For a full 14 hours, he had sat like an idiot!

Ruan Tianling’s expression was menacing. “Give me twenty minutes. I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up, he stood up at once, gathered his things, and left.

Jian Yufei, this was the last chance I gave us… but you didn’t come… I will never give you another chance…

Ruan Tianling emerged from the hospital room, his expressionless demeanor the most intimidating.

The bodyguards stood rigidly, hardly daring to breathe, lest they provoke his anger.

The hallway outside was deserted. Besides them, there were no other people.

Ruan Tianling laughed at himself mockingly–how foolish he had been today.

What was he expecting after all, thinking she still had a place for him in her heart? That upon hearing he was critically ill, she would rush to his side?

Heh, he had obviously forgotten the pain once the wound healed.

Such a heartless woman as her, why would she come to visit him just because he had an accident?

She had once cold-heartedly sent him to jail without visiting even once.

The only time she did was when he forced her to.
